>We all know over here that IT is not the sunshine and flowers industry it sometimes looks like from outside. There's plenty of psychical and mental health hazards.

On one hand

in which other industry you can:

Learn everything in your free time and all you need is e.g 300-400$ PC? (8gb ram, some cpu, nvme m2 disk)

Optional remote work with possibility to relocate to other countries

Huge salaries

Huge demand

On the other hand...

In which other job you gotta put this much effort in your free time?

Being a doctor. My sister is one and she has to study ~10 hours per week in her free time so she can keep up with new treatments / methods.
